As the typeface is no longer legally available, its technical details have become unclear. Until 2008 there was a digital implementation available from Scangraphic in the fontstore of Elsner+Flake, but this implementation had to be removed from the market because Linotype claimed the copyright of the defunct Haas Type Foundry.

The task was given to Team ’77 (André Gürtler, Christian Mengelt and Erich Gschwind).
